Today, membranes and membrane processes are used as efficient tools for the separation of liquid mixtures or gases in the chemical and biomedical industry, in water desalination and wastewater purification. Despite the fact that various membrane processes, like reverse osmosis, are described in great detail in a number of books, processes involving ion-exchange membranes are only described in a fragmented way in scientific journals and patents; even though large industrial applications, like electrodialysis, have been around for over half a century. Therefore, this book is emphasizing on the most relevant aspects of ion-exchange membranes. This book provides a comprehensive overview of ion-exchange membrane separation processes covering the fundamentals as well as recent developments of the different products and processes and their applications. The audience for this book is heterogeneous, as it includes plant managers and process engineer",01-Jan-04,199,199,,"Overview of Ion-Exchange Membrane Processes Historical development.

The Boltzmann equation belongs to the fundamental equations of physics. In the early 1980s it was shown by the author of this book, that taking into account the variation of the distribution function over times of the order of the collision time leads to additional terms in the Boltzmann equation, which are proportional to the mean time between collisions of particles and therefore to the Knudsen number and the viscosity in the hydrodynamic limit of the theory. Moreover it turns out that these terms - of which the influence grows with increasing Knudsen number - cannot be omitted in the case of small Knudsen numbers. Therefore a fundamental physical equation is revised. This book reflects the scales of these alterations. One can say - as the main result of the generalized Boltzmann kinetic theory - that this theory has shown to be a highly effective tool for solving many physical problems in areas where the classical theory runs into",01-Apr-04,135,135,,"Preface Historical introduction and the problem formulation Chapter 1.

Two major U.S. Midwestern railroads, the Rock Island Lines and the Milwauke Road, filed for bankruptcy after 1975 and the Court ordered them dismembered. This study explains the economic factors causing financial failure such as total rail line excess capacity in the region leading to low density of freight traffic; in addition, labor union rules required unnecessary large train crews. The regulations of the Interstate Commerce Commission aggravated the economic problems by limiting rail line abandonments and mergers designed to improve efficiency. Congress passed the Staggers Act in 1980 to correct a large part of the regulatory limitations to efficient reorganization of the U.S. rail system, but it was too late to save the Rock Island and the Milwaukee Road.The later chapters are economic analyses of the more recent mergers of the large railroads from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Coast.

The volume brings together Cohen's principal articles on the sociology of tourism, published over the last three decades. Part 1 collects his major theoretical papers starting with the pioneering articles of the 1970s, which contributed to the opening of the field of tourism for social science research, up to the recent work on the ongoing processes of change in contemporary tourism. Part 2 features the author's work on the many-sided interfaces between tourism and other domains - such as religion, crime and language. Part 3 includes several case studies, representative of diverse aspects of the author's empirical research. The introduction places the author's work in the context of the development of the field, while the concluding chapter outlines the challenges, which future developments in tourism will pose to its study.

The contributions in this volume focus on the ways in which criminologists study terrorism and counter-terrorism. Generally, terrorism has not been central in criminology, but since the events of September 11, terrorism has suddenly and resolutely moved center stage in criminological debates. The papers in this book bring out the distinct contribution criminologists and criminological sociologists have to offer in the study of (counter-) terrorism from theoretical, methodological, and substantive viewpoints. The discussions include a usefully broad variety of themes, including conceptual and theoretical perspectives in the criminology of terrorism; hate crimes and terrorism; civil liberties and the control of terrorism; terrorism, war and crime; state crime and terrorism; terrorism and transnational crime; the police dimensions of counter-terrorism; terrorism and the (international) court; and terrorism and punishment.

The fourth volume of Advances in Antiviral Drug Design is keeping up with the recent progress made in the broad field of antiviral drug research and encompasses six specific directions that have opened new avenues for the treatment of HIV and other virus infections. First, as the introductory chapter, the different new anti-HIV agents that are now in preclinical or clinical development are reviewed by E. De Clercq. This includes new NRTIs, NNRTIs and PIs, but also HIV entry/fusion inhibitors as well as integrase inhibitors, and some of these agents, such as the NRTI emtricitabine [(-)FTC] and the PI atazanavir, may soon be licensed for clinical use. Second, high expectations are vested in the potential therapeutic usefulness of inhibitors of HIV integration, a point of no return in the life cycle of HIV, and this approach is highlighted by D.J. Hazuda and S.D. Young. Third, as all currently available PIs can be described as",01-Dec-03,119.95,119.95,,"List of contributors. Preface.
